Mel Ferrer should be cited for his splendid starring in "The Brave Bulls." Also mention Jose Ferrer's stellar cameo as a sadistic opponent/captor of Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) in "Lawrence of Arabia."

While an undergraduate, I was head of both Theatre Intime and The University Players (1958-1960). As a benefit performance for The Players, I brought Sir John Gielgud to McCarter Theater in November 1959; later, I booked Odetta into McCarter, and the Three Beat Poets: Allen Ginsburg, Le Roi Jones, and ? into Theatre Intime. When I left to join public television in 1964, I would become one of the two producers of the Academy Award-winning film Woodstock in 1970, assistant director of Mean Streets with director Martin Scorsese, associate producer of The Groove Tube in 1974, producer of two National Geographic Specials, executive producer of 24 Previn and the Pittsburgh programs for PBS, executive producer of the twelve-program performance series Kennedy Center Tonight for PBS, executive producer of The Chemical People with Nancy Reagan for PBS, executive poducer of 32 two-hour dramatic book-based movies for international cinema and television under the PBS series banner of WonderWorks, as well as winner of two Emmys, one Peabody and two Christopher awards. I am still producing for PBS (And Thou Shalt Honor and Edens Lost & Found), and two new projects.
